No it's not. It's a magic sword from his father. It is a physical manifestation of his power. That's stated explicitly. And the weapon itself came from Sparda as a momento. It's probably older then we think.

And yes, Baul's sword has similar designs to Rebellion. Has that skull right there along with the same ribcage guard design. And he's sparda's apprentice and Rebellion came from Sparda. Even Baul's page makes note of it's similar appearance. If the design for Rebellion was around in their time, safe to say at least Rebellion was around and made a long time ago. Saying they look nothing like Rebellion is just flatout denial when it clealry has similar design.

Because that's not shown. The Sword of Sparda and Yamato are different weapons. Sword of Sparda is''' NOT a momento for the sons, unlike Yamato and Rebellion and Sparda went to great lengths to keep it away from people. '''Sword of Sparda is completely different weapon. I'm not talking about Sword of Sparda. And plus, again '''NEITHER ARKHAM NOR SANCTUS COULD ACTUALLY GET IT'S COMPLETE POWER! NERO COMPLETELY STATED SACTUS LACKED HEART AND ARKHAM TRANSFORMED INTO A BLOB TRYING! THEY DID NOT PROPERLY RESONATE! '''That was outright stated in some format on both. Even the wiki pages itself state that in both occassions.

Arius creating artificial beings has nothing to do with this since he did not interact with the Yamato/Rebellion sword. Creating beings and using a magical sword to a full extent are different things. Using Trish is invalid. Has Trish ever done anything to suggest that ability? No. Can she? Sure. If one day someone in Capcom wanted to! It's almost asking "Can Patty Lowell repair Yamato? How do we know she can't?" There's no suggesting that notion but it can be implimented. There's a term for this I can't remember.

Nero does have a connection with a sword. It releases his own latent power, something it can't do unless some connection is there. A sword he hasn't seen in his lifetime and yet, he called upon it and repaired it and it released his DT JUST LIKE REBELLION, IN WHICH IS OUTRIGHT STATED TO BE A PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF HIS POWER! And he's has the blood of Sparda. It's outright shown he has it. He can call upon it because of having the blood of Sparda.''' NO ONE ELSE IN THE SERIES has shown to use the blade like the members of Sparda's family. Opening a Hellgate doesn't show it can. I mean able to fix the dang sword and even ACTUALLY use it OFFENSIVELY. '''
